This is it! The World’s Best Keto Waffle Recipe. Hands down. So get a hold of your socks folks, because these low carb waffles are about to knock them right off!
These Keto waffles that I’ve been making are just the best.
(I know that every food blogger says that, but you’ve got to take my word for it on this one.)
These aren’t just the best Keto waffles, they are the best regular waffles too.
These waffles could go head to head with any waffle, any time, any place. They could throw down in IHOP and come out the winner, no question.
Waffles tend to be nutritional wastelands.
Lots of sugar and flour and not much else. But check out the ingredients in my Keto waffles: Eggs, Cream Cheese, Baking Powder, Oil and Almond Flour. This is real food, people! Real food with only 5g of net carbs and a hefty 19g of protein. And did I mention that it also makes the World’s Greatest Low Carb Pancakes? Well, it does. Best Keto waffles and pancakes ever.

I didn’t have cream cheese so I used 1/4th cup of sour cream and had a lot of faith. Lol the bather def needed thickness but it came out great and I can’t wait to try it with cream cheese when I buy some. Bc it needed some crisp. I sprinkled some cinnamon and had some warm syrup on top. Thanks for breakfast this morning. 😉
EmilyKrill says
Sure thing. Thanks for letting me know that sour cream works.
Julie Vaea says
I have literally tried soooo many waffle recipes of all kids in my waffle maker and the stick and come out aweful. I was actually going to go and buy another waffle maker today… these are amazing! Came out perfectly. Soft. No stick… best by far. Thank you!!

Absolutely amazing waffles and so easy to make! My new breakfast meal for either Saturday or Sunday. Hey, can even use it for a dinner meal if you want to.

EmilyKrill says
I add some bacon and eat it for dinner sometimes. It’s definitely a family favorite. Glad you like them too.
vasiliki chios says
First time trying this recipe. Not bad. A bit eggie but with some blueberries on top not bad at all. I will make these again.

EmilyKrill says
Great!
Alicia Cirino says
I made this recipe today and I thought it was really good. I used only 3 Tbs of almond flour, and added 2 scoops of Dulce de Leche protein powder with maybe a tablespoon of almond milk. I also used a mini waffle maker instead. I got 5 mini waffles. I ate 3 and will freeze the other two for tomorrow! The waffles were fluffy, and tasted yummy. I’m sure I changed the nutritional value but I am working on reducing my carbs, not quite ready for full Keto.
Thank you for a great recipe!
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Great! Those sound like good additions. None of the extra ingredients aren’t Keto, so you only added a very minimal amount of carbs, less than 1 g for the almond milk.
Sarah says
While I definitely didn’t find these to be the best ever waffles or even keto waffles, I did like them. My boyfriend thought the coconut oil flavor was too strong. I love the taste of coconut oil and felt it was the only thing really giving these any flavor so I liked it. I used the 1 egg to 3 tablespoons ratio. If I make them again I would maybe add a bit of vanilla extract, salt, and maybe a combination of coconut flour and almond flour to try and improve the flavor. The texture was great!
★★★★
Cathy says
I just tried your keto waffle recipe. I am fairly new to keto like almost 3 months in and have tried several keto recipes that I did not like. I hesitantly tried this recipe. I did the 4 tbs. of almond flour but added some vanilla and a little bit of cinnamon. they were delicious but still had a little bit of an egg taste to me. Do you think I could cut down to one egg and it would work? With that being said I loved the waffles otherwise with sf syrup. Thank you for this and me being able to eat almost like a normal person……..I saved half for in the morning…..
EmilyKrill says
I’ve never tried it with 1 egg, but someone else wrote in and said that it works. Glad you like the waffles!
Carley says
Hi! So I just made these and I love them, but I was a bit confused with the carb count. In the recipe it says 2-4 tablespoons of almond flour. On the nutrition chart you said it was 7 grams of carbs and 2 grams of fibre, which would make one waffle 5 net grams of carbs, but on the bottom commentary below that your notes say that if you add two more tablespoons it would make 7 net carbs. Are you talking about adding two more tablespoons to the 4 existing tbls?
EmilyKrill says
If you use 2 tablespoons almond flour, the waffles will have a total of 5g net carbs. If you use 3 tablespoons of almond flour, you’ll have 6g net carbs and if you use a total of 4 tablespoons almond flour, it will have 7g net carbs.
Tory says
I have been trialing so many waffle recipes and my daughter has not liked them at all. She told me to give up. I said one more trial and than we would give up. She forward your recipe to me. We had to swap the ‘cream cheese” for silken tofu because she is not able to eat real cream cheese nor the vegan cream cheese. I made up your recipe and when I asked how did they turn out , my daughter closed her eyes and purrred . She loves them, they are really are the worlds best!. Thank you!
EmilyKrill says
Aw, thanks for making my day. And great to know that the recipe works with silken tofu!
Linda says
I have been Keto for 2 years and I have tried SO many waffle recipes. They always cook up soggy – and there is nothing less appetizing than a soft, squishy waffle. Truthfully, I didn’t have much hope this time, either, but I plowed ahead as I was really craving a hot, crispy waffle breakfast. I have a Dash mini waffle maker that I just purchased to keep from having to use my large Belgian waffler for just one person. I used 1 egg, about 3 tablespoons almond flour, 1 tablespoon cream cheese I softened slightly in the microwave , 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil and a 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. I mixed all the ingredients together in a small, deep bowl with a silicone spatula – less clean up than a blender for such a little amount. One third of the batter filled my Dash for 1 waffle and the recipe made 3 waffles. These are AMAZING!! They baked up crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and with no eggy taste. I put this recipe in Cronometer and the macros were: 2.85 net carbs, 26.2 fats, 11.7 protein and 302.8 calories. And such a delicious and filling breakfast. I will be making these exclusively!
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Yay! Thanks for sharing the smaller waffle size proportions.
Celia says
I made this and I added cinnamon and some diced apple to the batter. I then put some fruit on top and a drizzle of honey and it was so good!
EmilyKrill says
That sounds delicious.
Kim G says
Made these for the second time in 1 week. Absolutely amazing taste !! Been on low carb over 2 years. Tried other waffle recipes but just didn’t taste real …. these are “REAL”. I did use only 1 egg, added little cinnamon / vanilla and substituted 2 t Psyllium husk for Coconut flour ( to thicken). Thank you for this recipe !
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Sounds like good substitutions. So glad you like the recipe.
TinyMommy says
Easy perfect waffles! every.single.time.
★★★★★
deb in sc says
I am a little bit hesitant to try this recipe due to the proportions of eggs vs almond flour. Based on previous waffles I’ve tried, they taste VERY eggy to me and I don’t like it. Is xanthum gum a possible substitute for one of the eggs?
EmilyKrill says
No.
Julia Rose says
I used only one egg, I was worried about egginess too! But they came out really really good with just the one, and 3 tb of almond flour!!
EmilyKrill says
Yay! Thanks for letting me know.
KaiHiz says
Easiest and the best keto waffle!!! 💕 yummy!!!
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Right? Glad you think so too.
Marieta says
Can I ask, is there no sugar in this recipe?
EmilyKrill says
No, no sugar. I usually eat them with sugar-free pancake syrup.
JP says
Very good!! I appreciated that this recipe didn’t require a long list of ingredients or unusual items that I can’t find at my small-town grocer. It tasted wonderful and certainly “hit the spot” to satisfy my waffle cravings. Thank you!

EmilyKrill says
Yay! Thanks for this nice note. You made my day.
Pam says
I was amazed at how good these are! I added crushed walnuts and made them as pancakes. THANK YOU for such an easy and tasty recipe!
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
That sounds like a great addition. Thanks for the tip!
Gina says
I used my mini waffle maker….that makes all low carb waffles and waffles better! Just have your oven on low to hold them until they are all cooked. I only used 2 Tbs almond flour for the whole recipe. I ate the whole amount for 4.4 net carbs.
★★★★★
Lee says
Outstanding. Sick of ‘best ever!!’ recipes that demand you separate eggs, measure 3 and 4/7 ounces of what-the-heck is that and end up tasting ‘Meh’, anyway. Your proportions are perfect, and they taste fantastic. Super efficient one-pot cookery (+ one waffle iron…)
Thank you🙏

Natha says
Hello! I’m yet to try this recipe. Can I use sour cream instead of cream cheese? Trying to use what I have at hand.
EmilyKrill says
I’ve never tried using sour cream, but I think it should be fine. The batter will be thinner though, so I suggest using 1/4 cup almond flour instead of 2 tablespoons. And you’ll need 1/4 cup of sour cream. Good luck!
Gabriel says
Pretty tasty. They don’t come out very crispy though.
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
They do not. Low carb waffles have different ingredients so it’s hard to replicate regular waffles with what we’ve got to work with. Normal waffle recipes often use flour, cornstarch and buttermilk to make the waffles crispy, but these ingredients are too high in carbohydrate to use in low carb cooking. So, you know, we do what we can with what we have.
Zelma says
I love these waffles. The taste and texture is wonderful! Thought I would freeze the extra for another time…nope.🤷🏽♀️ Thanks for the recipe, keep up the great work..please and thank you.🤞🏽
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Thanks!
Trb says
Thank you for this recipe! Just made it and it couldn’t haven’t been easier and it was very tasty! I used my ninja single serve cup to blend, added sf vanilla extract and a little cinnamon. Ate it warm with butter and sf syrup. Yum yum!! I followed your advice and cut the belgium waffle in half. I imagine it will be even better after being toasted for left overs. Thanks again!
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
No problem! I haven’t tried freezing them and then toasting them, but someone else in the comment thread did it and it worked out really well. Adding vanilla and cinnamon was a good idea. I’ve actually got a similar recipe for Pumpkin Waffles that uses this recipe along with mashed pumpkin and pumpkin spice. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/low-carb-pumpkin-waffles/ This might be a good one to try now that we are in pumpkin spice season.
Thanks for your comment!
Cynthia G says
Hiya!..I made these but there is a heavy taste of something..could I have put to much of something in it..like baking soda or…
EmilyKrill says
If you are using baking soda, then you are doing it wrong. You need to use baking powder.
Frank D. says
I recently discovered the concept of “chaffles” and immediately ordered the well-known “Dash” mini-waffle maker from Amazon. I shredded a bit over two ounces of an aged, semi-hard cheddar cheese from Aldi into a steel mixing bowl with two whole jumbo eggs, your suggested 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and approximately 3-1/2 tablespoons of a well-ground almond meal (Trader Joe’s “Just Almond Meal”) before vigorously mixing the lot with a fork — no blender. Nor did I add any oil to the recipe beyond dabbing a bit of saved bacon grease on the hot griddle with a paper towel.
After the waffle maker indicated full heating by turning off that blue LED light at the top, I cautiously poured some of the mixture into the griddle. The first dollop was too much, and the overflow gushed out all over the front as the baking powder sprang into action. LMAO! But after four minutes and some interesting smoke, I unplugged the Dash. Opening the lid revealed a lightly browned concoction that separated easily from the griddle with the smallest urging from a fork. Mmmm. Mmmm! Bready with a distinct cheese flavor and only a hint of egginess!
In short, even my rough and ready adaptation of your excellent recipe come out very nicely! I’m planning on trying the cream cheese version with a touch of vanilla and possibly Walmart’s “Great Value” sugar-free pancake syrup. My mangled version of your recipe would have produced about four mini waffles had I not repeatedly over-poured, which wasted a fair mount of batter. Two more waffles are now crisping up on the counter under a paper towel, awaiting later snacking. 🙂
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Ha, thanks so much for the Kind words. I have to say- I always wince when people write in with adaptations of my recipes. When someone changes a recipe and it all goes terribly wrong, I am often the one who gets the blame. So thank you for taking all the responsibility for your waffles! I will have to try the Aldi cheese you mentioned. I am all about ingredients you can buy at Walmart, Trader Joe’s and Aldi. Did you know that you can get almond flour at Aldi now? I was so psyched when I learned that. And I use a very similar sugar-free pancake syrup with my waffles. I actually like it much more than the pricy sugar-free syrups you can buy on Amazon. The one I use is from the “Essentials” brand, which is the generic at my local store.
But anyway, I appreciated your comment very much. When recipes go right, I love to hear about them. And this makes me think that you might like my recipe for broccoli waffles. (I published it back in 2017, before chaffles were even a thing. Not to brag.) Broccoli waffles aren’t for everyone, but you seem like the kind of adventurous eater who might like them.

Greatest!!!
I’ve been making these waffles for about a month. I make a big batch and freeze them. Just put in the toaster in the morning.
I have been trying to gain weight (about 15 pounds) so thank goodness for the calories. If you have any good advice of other things that can help gain weight, I’m all ears. Thank you again for sharing.
EmilyKrill says
So glad you like the recipe! And yes, the waffles are very high in calories. When you are doing low carb, eating more calories doesn’t necessarily mean that you will gain weight though. The whole idea behind Keto is to lower carbs and increase fats to lose weight. So if you are trying to gain weight while eating low carb, you should actually increase the amount of protein that you consume, rather than the amount of fat. It is counter to everything that you were taught about dieting, but when you are on a low carb diet, your body plays by different rules. You can find out more about using protein for weight gain from the Dr. Bernstein Diet. Here’s a video where he talks about using protein for weight loss and weight gain.

Alex says
Omg, FINALLY!!! I’ve been looking for a good keto waffle recipe for SO LONG!! Just yesterday I tried one with 3 times the amount of ingredients that had me folding in peaked eggwhites and using every bowl and utensil I had and all I had at the end was waffle-shaped cardboard and a trashed kitchen… I almost gave up! But I saw this and the reviews and that it was at least easy. I’m SO glad I tried it! This was so quick and easy, and the taste AND texture were great! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Sure thing! I know what you are talking about. I tried that whipped egg white one too. So much trouble for breakfast. Blender waffle are definitely the way to go. Thanks so much for letting me know that you like them.
Sara says
Would it be possible to use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
EmilyKrill says
No, almond flour and coconut flour absorb liquid differently so you can’t just replace one with the other. But here is a very similar recipe from Low Carb Yum that uses coconut flour. https://lowcarbyum.com/coconut-flour-belgian-waffles/
Sara says
Thanks so much! I’ll just have to stock up on Almond flour 😊😊😊
EmilyKrill says
That’s definitely a good idea if you plan to do any kind of low carb baking. But luckily, I’ve seen a large 3 lb bag of almond flour at Costco, and Aldi just started to carry it too. And, obviously, you’ve got your choice of brands on Amazon.
Donna says
Girl!!!!! You were not kidding when you said the worlds greatest keto waffles! They surely are! I just made them they were perfect, I’ll be eating these every day. Thank you for a non eggy/cheesy keto recipe. Yum!
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Ha, thanks! And me too. I got into the habit of making these waffles every morning. I have one word of advice though. These waffles are not low in calories. The serving size is 1 Belgian waffle, and it has 552 calories. But Belgian waffles are so big that I started eating half of one and saving the other one for the next day. (Well, I tried to anyway. A lot of times I just gobbled the whole thing.) Thanks so much for making my day with your nice comment. Have a good one!
Niece says
This was so good and easy to make! I didn’t have baking powder so I did a teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice. I also added a few drops of vanilla flavoring. My husband LOVED it
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Yay! I love passing the husband test. I bet the lemon juice gave it a nice little bit of flavor.
Yvette says
love the waffle, I did add frozen blueberry and few drops of vanilla, and it was perfect. topped it with a choc zero mapple sirup.
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Oh yum. I’ve put blueberries in my waffles and pancakes before but have never tried frozen. I would think that they wouldn’t thaw out in the waffle iron, so it’s good to know that they do. And I have never tried Choc Zero syrup before but I keep hearing about it. I just placed an order for it on Amazon. Thanks so much for those two tips!
Danyel says
Really amazing! I have a low-carb, gluten-free bakery and these are the best I’ve had. I added a 2 teaspoons of Sukrin Gold and a dash of vanilla bean paste then topped with Nature’s Hollow sugar free raspberry syrup and a dallop of swerve confectioners-sweetened whipped cream and everyone raved about the waffle “dessert.” I used 1/4 C almond flour (4T) and got a nice thick batter. It was more than my Belgian waffle maker would hold so the recipe made 1.5 waffles for me. Keep up the great work!
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Thank you! I’m so glad you were able to use these waffles to make such a delicious sounding dessert. I think I need to go make that for myself now. So where do you find vanilla paste? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.
Danyel says
I use Madagascar vanilla bean paste. You can buy it on Amazon. I do think it has some sugar in it, but I use less than 1/4 tsp in this recipe so should have minimal affect on blood sugar. I’d think any vanilla flavoring would be almost as good and sugar-free.
EmilyKrill says
Thanks so much! I am going to order some now.
Nicole says
This really is the best keto waffle recipe I have tried. I won’t go back to the grainy flax ones again. I made these in my hotel room! I used a blender bottle (be patient – the cream cheese WILL incorporate with just a few small lumps!) and my mini waffle maker. Take that $11 hotel breakfast that wouldn’t be keto anyway! I had baking soda instead of powder, so I halved the amount, and it worked just fine. 🙂 Even my picky father in law didn’t find any reason to complain. LOL! Thank you for a great recipe!!
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Hooray! I love passing the picky eater test. Thanks for letting me know.

EmilyKrill says
Yay! Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know.
Abigail Harvey says
I’ve been using 3 TBSP almond four per recipe (right in the middle) and they have been perfect. If you only used 2 TBSP almond flour, your waffle batter would be pretty runny. It would be great if you were using it to make say, an english muffin replacement in a skillet with the same recipe, but for waffles, 3TBSP of almond flour was perfect for me. Sorry it didn’t work out, this recipe is DELICIOUS! I recommend making 1 single batch first, trying with 3 TBSP of AF, and then see how that does and go from there!
Courtney F says
I used 4 TBSP almond flour per batch and it was super runny. No idea how cutting it down to 3 would fix the problem. It was completely pourable. Like, thinner than cake batter. Should it have been thicker?
EmilyKrill says
Yes, if you are using 4 tablespoons of almond flour, then it should definitely be as thick as you would expect regular waffle batter to be. But this should be easy to fix. I’d make up a single batch using 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) almond flour, and then add more almond flour in one tablespoon increments until it reaches a consistency that is thick enough to use in a waffle iron without running everywhere.
Julie says
The recipe says yield one waffle in the nutrition information for one waffle. I mixed it up as written but got three waffles out of it, I have a mini waffle maker so I’m assuming the nutrition information it’s still the same because it’s just smaller than yours?
EmilyKrill says
Yes, the nutritional info is for 1 large Belgian waffle, or several smaller waffles. The info is the same, not matter how you split up the batter. And this is a large serving, so you might want to only eat half of it.
EmilyKrill says
Thanks Sara, I think you figured out the puzzle! I completely missed the fact that she used baking soda instead of baking powder. It’s such an easy mistake to make though. Here’s an article from Bon Appetit about the differences between the two and how to use each one.
https://www.bonappetit.com/story/baking-powder-vs-baking-soda-difference
Courtney F says
I’m so confused. All the ratings are awesome, but I had no success with this recipe AT ALL. I quadrupled the recipe to get 4 waffles. I used 8oz cream cheese, 4 tablespoons melted kerrygold, 16 tablespoons almond flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 8 eggs. They turned out terrible. The batter was so runny that it kept pouring out of my waffle iron all over my counter. The waffles turned out thin and not thick or bready at all. I’m so sad….guess I should’ve tried a single waffle first. What could’ve went wrong??
★★
EmilyKrill says
Oh no! Sorry you wasted so many ingredients on this recipe. If the batter was too liquid, then you didn’t use enough almond flour. If you quadrupled the recipe, then you would need to use 1 full cup of super fine almond flour. The only idea I have is that you lost count as you were measuring out 16 tablespoons of the almond flour. I trust you when you say that you used the correct amounts though, so I really don’t know how this happened.
Sara says
Hi Courtney, if I understand right, you used baking soda instead of baking powder and this caused the problem. The batter IS runny anyway, so there is no need to overfill the plates, the waffles WILL definitely rise and become thick and very tasty…
Eldri I Earles says
My husband and I have been eating keto and love trying new recipes. We have been looking for a simple ingredient, yummy recipe for waffles and this is it! He’s quite picky and he truly loved it! Next test is on the kids! Kudos to you from one happy momma and wife! Also, I doubled the batch and it made 8 normal size waffles (non-Belgian waffles) in our waffle maker. Thanks again! 😁
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Yay! Thank you so much for letting me know that you like the waffles. Hope it passes the kid test too!
Erin says
This recipe was as equally simple as it was yummy. I was totally impressed with how cake like the taste was. My 3 yr old and I made them together and used her heart shaped waffle maker to make a total of about 8 waffles. She loved them, as did my husband and mom. Thanks so much for sharing this gem.
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Thanks so much for letting me know how many waffles you got out of the batter. I only have a Belgian waffle maker. Thanks!
Joanna says
Amazing!!! I had didn’t have high hopes for this recipe, but it was simple the straightforward ingredients and instructions that peaked my interest. WOW WOW WOW!! I followed to the letter using 4Tbsp of Almond flour and 1Tbsp butter, and the recipe gave me 4 waffles! Perfect for breakfast, but I have been using them for sandwiches!! Today was a big batch day, so now I have enough made for 8 servings of 2 waffles. I also tried using a garlic and herb spreadable cream cheese, and they turned out great!!!! This will be a weekly make, they are fantastic!! I love that they have simple ingredients because I live on a small tropical island and things like monk fruit, erythritol, and phylum husk… just do not exist here!! Thank you again for this!!
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Yay! Waffles for the win. You might want to look at your local store for Sugar-Free Pancake Syrup. It’s not a specialty item where I live, so you might be able to find it next to the regular pancake syrups. Thanks so much for your nice note. You made my day.
Carol says
Made this recipe today for my kiddos and they loved it! I kinda eye balled the ingredients so I know I used more than I should’ve but here’s what I did; 3/4 cup of almond flour, 2-3 oz cream cheese, 1 tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 2 xtra large eggs beat with mixer and pour to un-greased mini waffle maker! Made 7 of them!!! Soooooo good and saving this recipe for Saturday mornings! Thank you
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Sure thing! So glad it passed the kid test. That’s a tough one.
Katarina says
perfect waffles, exceptionally easy to make – without the need of whisking egg whites!
there is no need for me to try another/new recipe for gf/keto waffles…these are really nice, they took 6-7 min in my waffle maker and after removing them out they dried on the surface – got crunchy – and became even more crispy and really fluffy inside,
thank you for the recipe

Absolutely love the recipe as a go to. I add cinnamon or sugar free chocolate chips and/ or sweetener of choice depending on my mood.

Oh my goodness, chocolate chip waffles sound amazing. Will definitely be giving these a try. Thanks!
Kathleen says
Do you know of anything nondairy that might be able to successfully replace the cream cheese? We aren’t able to consume dairy. Thanks!
EmilyKrill says
No, I’m sorry but this recipe needs the cream cheese to work. But you should check out a product called Carbquik. It’s like a low carb Bisquick so it’s great for waffles and pancakes. You can buy it on Amazon here:

Roxana Lopez says
You can substitute cream cheese in most recipes with Kite Hill almond based cream cheese spread. It works like a charm in most applications. They also make a plain yogurt that can be subbed for any yogurt or sour cream required in recipes. Kroger stores (many chains fall under the Kroger umbrella) carry it, as do all health food stores.
EmilyKrill says
Thanks for that tip. I keep hearing about low carb things you can buy at Kroger. There is one about 10 miles away from me but I’ve never been there. Are there any other low carb Kroger finds I should look for?
Roxana Lopez says
They often have their house brand of cream cheese on sale for 99 cents. I stock up when they have that. I also stock up on their CarbMaster Yogurt, which is sweetened with Sucralose, and usually marked at 50 cents each. It’s a little overly sweet, and low fat, so I solve both of those issues by adding 1T heavy cream to a serving. They carry some Torani SF syrups, if you need any. Boar’s Head meats from their deli are always gluten free, with minimal stuff added in, and good quality. My favorite deli meats! Aidells Chicken & Turkey Meatballs with Sundried Tomatoes, which I don’t find anywhere else. La Choy Soy Sauce (GF), hard to find around here. They have a big selection of flavored waters, both sparkling and still. Louanna Coconut Oil in a good size tub (not so big it won’t fit in my baking cupboard, as I find at Costco) – refined, so no coconut taste. NutPods Non Dairy Creamer, unsweetened — my fave is Vanilla. These should be on the shelf with boxed milks. My “dirty Keto” splurge is Protein Almonds from Optimum Nutrition, in the aisle with protein drinks. They have maltitol, but I only eat 3 at a time — so delicious! If you like those old timey potted meats, they are the only store I know that carris it in Corned Beef (everyone else has only ham and chicken). It’s great on low carb crackers. I find their produce only so-so, and don’t buy much of it there. They often have some sauces, dressings, condiments that I don’t find in other stores. It’s worth taking time to explore.
EmilyKrill says
Thanks so much for all these tips! I really want to check out the low carb yogurt. I’ve been missing it lately.
Jennifer says
These are so good. They don’t taste like eggs at all! They’re fluffy and delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe.

These are the best waffles. I’m new to Keto diet and was afraid it would be another cardboard recipe. ( still getting used to cooking with almond flour).
I like these better than my non-Keto waffles.

These were good, but mine came out dry when using coconut oil. Next time I’ll try butter.
Also, it only filled my square waffle iron about 3/4, so I’ll make half again as much next time.

what can egg be replaced with?
Emily says
I don’t think you can replace the eggs in this recipe. They hold the whole thing together.
